Rockin' Chair - Remastered 2000

Hang around, Willie boy
 Don't you raise the sails anymore
 It's for sure, I've spent my whole life at sea
 And I'm pushin' age seventy three
 Now there's only one place that was meant for me
 Oh, to be home again, down in old Virginny
 With my very best friend
 They call him Ragtime Willie
 We're gonna soothe away the rest of our years
 We're gonna put away all of our tears
 That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere
 Slow down, Willie boy
 Your heart's gonna give right out on you
 It's true and I believe I know what we should do
 Turn the stern and point to shore
 The seven seas won't carry us no more
 Oh, to be home again, down in old Virginny
 With my very best friend
 They call him Ragtime Willie
 I can't wait to sniff that air
 Dip an' snuff, I won't have no care
 That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere
 Hear the sound, Willie boy
 The Flyin' Dutchman's on the reef
 It's my belief we've used up all our time
 This hill's to steep to climb
 And the days that remain ain't worth a dime
 Oh, to be home again, down in old Virginny
 With my very best friend
 They call him Ragtime Willie
 Would've been nice just to see the folks
 Listen once again to the stale jokes
 That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere
 I can hear somethin' calling on me
 And you know where I wanna be
 Oh, Willie, don't you hear that sound? (Oh, to be home again)
 (Down in old Virginny)
 I just wanna get my feet back on the ground (Oh, to be home again)
 (Down in old Virginny)
 I'd love to see my very best friend (With my very best friend)
 They call him Ragtime Willie
 I believe old rockin' chair's got me (Oh, to be home again)
